It took eight years and several overseas outlets, but Fatboy's has finally launched its halal offshoot in Singapore.

Officially opened on Friday (Feb 17) at 17 Bali Lane, Fatpapas is a team effort by Fatboy's founder Bernie Tay and local entertainer Sheikh Haikel.

Fatpapas is loyal as can be to its mother (or father) brand in both food and looks. It bears Fatboy's logo and signature '80s diner theme with a red-and-checks colour scheme. A sign that reads "great burgers sold here" points to the double-storey shophouse outlet, while inside are playful murals on the wall.

If you're in the mood for a surprise, the menu (available online) has a "secret" section, which according to Berita Harian includes a massive Country Fried Sheikh Burger - a spin on their Country Fried Steak ($18.80), perhaps?

Fatboy's is also known for its milkshakes and Fatpapas has them ($10 each) in six flavours - chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, coconut, gula melaka and mango. Add-ons like crushed oreo, caramel and peanut butter are available for 50 cents - $1.
